thoughts on various subjects

so, i know ms. s said not to go with the easy one, the religion one..but as i was reading kaitlyns i wrote a comment back to her, and it was long enough to be my blog post, so i'm just gonna go with it. so this will be like my own thoughts and a response to kaitlyn :D "We have just enough religion to makes us hate, but not enough to make us love one another". I am going to have to say I completely agree with this, and it makes me super sad! I think that people are so caught up in religion. that is praying, going to church every sunday like good little boys and girls, and all of that stuff that religion is supposed to be. people who focus on just religion do not want to go to hell. i believe their only goal is to go to heaven. they go to church and act all like "praise God!" but then go to school and are like f this, f that. they are only in this to be a "good person". But on the other hand, i also think their are people who go to church because they believe in Jesus (or whoever they believe in) and want a relationship with Him. They want to show love to others, because of the love Jesus showed for them by dying on the cross. They want others to know the love of God. And in shelby high school, and i'm sure in every other school, you get shut down for it. they call you bible thumpers, or call you Jesus freaks, or think its ridiculous that you bring your bible to lunch. THESE PEOPLE ARE THE REASON WHY LOVE IS NOT SHOWN! People judge peoples relationship, they call them hypocrites, they expect church goers to be "perfect", they judge other people's churches "cult on a hill"...ring any bells? i honestly believe that if people quit judging and just gave people a chance, then there would be more love. i mean how many people do you see shoving religion down other peoples throats? not many, because they are afraid of rejection and that they will be judged from everyone else! i think the first step would be different religions getting along, churches getting along. there is no reason for fighting or hate between churches, especially since its super hypocritical and the only reason why there should be churches is to worship and spend time with your "whoever". religion=lame, relationship=amazing! :D but this quote inspires me a lot, maybe we should get out there and love like crazy throughout the school, so don't start judging when we do! :)
